Make way for her.\" \"The princess!\" gasped the officer. Then a peculiar smllo overspread his face. He had served three years ln ths castle guard at Edelweiss! There was ��� long pause, fraught with disaster for Beverly. \"Yes, perhaps lt is just as ���well that we conduct her to Baron Dangloss,\" he Bald at last. The deep meaning In his voice appealed only to the unhappy girl. \"There shall be no further delay, your highness!\" he added mockingly. A moment later the jcates swung open and they passed through. Beverly alone knew that they Were going to Baron Dangloss under heavy guard, virtually as prisoners. The man knew*.her to be an impostor and was\" doing only his duty. There were smiles of derision on the faces ef tbe soldiers when Beverly ���wept proudly between the files and up the steps leading to the comman- tent's door, but there were ho audible remarks.' Baldos roiiowea,\" 'wantrdg painfully, but defiantly, and Aunt Fanny came last, with the hand bag. The guards grinned broadly as the, corpulent negress waddled up the steps. The young officer and two men entered tbe door with the wayfarers, who were ordered to halt in the hallway. \"Will your highness come with me?\" ���aid the officer, returning to the hall after a short absence. There was unmistakable derision ln his voice and palpable insolence ln his manner. Beverly flushed angrily. \"Baron Dangloss is very curious to see you,\" he added, with a smile. Nevertheless he shrank a bit beneath the cold gleam ln the eyes of the impostor. \"You will remain here,\" she said, turning to Baldos and the negress. \"And you will have nothing whatever to say to this very Important young man.'' The \"important young man\" actually chuckled, \"Follow me, \"your most royal highness,\" he said, preceding her through You aon't mean to say that the princess tried to find me ln St Petersburg?\" cried Beverly ln wonder and delight. \"That was one of the purposes of her visit,\" said he brusquely. \"Oh, how Jolly!\" cried she, her gray eyes sparkling. The grim old captain was startled for the smallest fraction of i} minute, but at once fell to admiring the fresb, eager face of the visitor. \"Tho public at large ls under the Impression that she visited the czar on matters of Importance,\" be said, with a condescending Binlle. \"And lt really was of no importance at all, that's what you meau?\" She * smiled back securely. I ' \"Your message Informing her highness of your presence In St. Petersburg had no sooner arrived than she set forth to meet you In that city, much against the advice of her counselors. I will admit that she had other, business there, but lt could have waited. You see, Miss Calhoun, lt was a great risk at this particular time. Misfortune means disaster now. But Providence was her friend. She arrived safely ln Ganlook not an hour since.\" \"Really? Oh, Baron Dangloss, where Is she?\" excitedly cried the American girl. \"For the night she is stopping with the Countess Itallowltz. A force of men, but not those whom you met at the gates, has just been dispatched at her command to search for you in the lower pass. You took the most dangerous road. Miss Calhoun, and I am amazed that you came through ln safety.'-; \"Tbe Russians chose the lower pass, I knew uot why. Of course, 1 was quite Ignorant However, wo met neither brigands nor soldiers, Axphain or Graustark. I encountered nothln*; more alarming than a mountain lion. And that, Baron Dangloss, recalls me to the sense of a duty 1 have been neglecting. A poor wanderer in the hills defended me against the beast and was badly wounded. He must be taken to a hospital at once, Blr, where he may bave the proper care.\" Whereupon, ui m-i request, she hurriedly related tlie story of-that trying journey through tbe mountains, uot forgetting to paint the courage of Baldos in most glowing colors.. Tbe chief was deeply Interested In the story of the goat hunter and his party.. Thgye was an odd gleam of satisfaction In\"his eyes, but she did not observe lt. \"You will see that he has immediate attention, won't you?\" she implored In the end. \"He shall have our deepest consider atlon,\" promised he. \"You know I am rather interested because I shot him, just as If it were not enough that his legs were being torn by the brute at the time. He ought not to walk, Baton Daugloss. If you don't mind, I'd suggest-an ambulance,\" she hurried on glibly. He could not conceal the smile that her eagerness Inspired. \"Really, ne Is in a serious condition.

The ���mile Instantly receded from the Insolent fellow's face, for there was a worW of prophecy In the way she said it. ..jmehow he was ln a much more respectful humor when he-returned to the hall and stood ln the, presence of the tall, flushed stranger with the ragged uniform. A short, fierce little man ln the picturesque uniform of a Graustark officer arose as Beverly entered the office. His short beard bristled as though lt were concealing a smile, but his manner was polite, even deferential. She advanced fearlessly toward him, a wayward smile struggling into her face. \"I dare say you. know I am not the princess,\" she said composedly. Every vestige of fear was gone now that she had reached the lino of battle. The doughty baron looked somewhat surprised at -this frank way of opening aa Interview. \"I-am quite well aware of it\" ha said politely. \"They say you know every one, Bar- traveled as Princess Yetlve of Grau stark.\" \"And, oh, that reminds me, Barou Dangloss, Baldos still believes me tc be the princess. Is lt necessary to��� to tell him the truth about me? Just at present, I menu*? I'm sure he'll rest much easier if be doesn't know dif fereutly.\" \"So fur as I am concerned, Miss Calhoun, be shall always regard you as a queen,\" said Dangloss gallantly. \"Thauk you. It's very nice of you to\"- A man In uniform entered �� after knocklng at the door of the room. H(- saluted bis superior and uttered n feu words In his own language. \"Her royal highness ls awaiting you at the homo of the countess. Miss Calhoun.

Beverly hurried into the outer room after giving the baron a smile be never forgot. Baldos looked up eagerly, anxiously. \"It's all right,\" she said in low tones, pausing for a moment beside his chali \"Don't get up! Goodby. I'll eoine to see you tomorrow. Don't be in the least disturbed. Baron Dangloss has his Instructions.\" Impulsively giving him her hand, which he respectfully raised to his lips, she followed Aunt Fanny and was gone.

History of Thin Old and World Vm- nioD* Institution. The Almnniieb de Gotba is more than an almanac. It Is an institution Bravely arrayed In red and gold, it lies ou tbe table of every diplomatist. Is in constant request In the newspaper offices of all countries and makes a wider and more international appeal than any other annual of reference in the world. It is to Europe what Burke and De- brett aha'the other peerages are to the British isles, ihkI it Is also the lineal ancestor and model of such topical encyclopedias as our Whittaker, our Ha- zell and our. Statesman's Yearbook. A political and social history of tbe world for the last 150 years could be written from Its back numbers If these were readily accessible to students. But they are uot. The Alma- .nach de Gotba began; to. appear In 1703, but the purchasers'dld not file It for reference. The earliest numbers In tbe British museum are those for 1774 and 1783, and a complete set can be consulted nowhere except In the editorial office In Frledrlcb's Alice In the little Thurlngldn capital. Probably not one In ten thousand of those who currently use the almanac has any knowledge of Its interesting history. It had of course Its predecessors. Tbe bibliographies pf almanacs are ponderous tomes, and the middle of the eighteenth century was the golden age of this kind of literature. In Paris alone as many as seventy-three almanacs were published in the year 1700. Including a royal almanac, an almanac for merchants, an almanac for Freemasons, an almanac of beasts, an almanac of badinage, etc. The city of Gotha Itself hud Its own almanac from a still earlier date In the shape of an \"Improved Gotha. genealogical and writing calendar,\" the origin of which is lost in the mist of antiquity, though a copy dated 1740 survives.���Francis Gribble In Scribher's. - Cold and Silver Goapel*.

Mr. Zangwlll thought a moment and then asked if he could bave my stenographer for a short time.

He had often been Mr. Webster's guide and companion on his fishing trips and remembered clearly many of their happenings. It was with a glow of iove and admiration amounting to worship that he related how this great fisherman, after landing a large trout on the bank of tbe stream, \"talked mighty strong and fine to that fish and told him what a mistake he bad made and what a fool he was to take that fly and that he would have been all right If he had left It alone.\" Who can doubt that patient search would disclose somewhere In Mr. Webster's speeches and writings the elaboration, with high intent, of that \"mighty strong and fine\" talk addressed to the fish at Mashpee?���\"Fishing acd Shooting Sketches,\" by Grover Cleveland. .

Mill had left It too carelessly lying about and a servant, thinking lt so much waste paper, had burned It. Five months of steadfast, occasionally excessive and painful toil utterly lost!

THE QUESTION OF LIFE. Sinn's Progress nnd tbe Books of th�� Eighteenth Century. In what mankind called \"progress'* the world was led by Illusion, advanced by lies. Everybody hated work, which was the only health. Even the preacher spoke dolefully of \"the curse of Adam.\" E.crybody wanted to be rich, which meant unhapplness; every, body wanted to be Idle, which meant death. Change was regarded as progress, and to And one different from oneself was to find one worse than oneself. And with all these I sympathized, knowing them to be 'wrong. I had listened to moralists and before all was done discerned that a question of morals was a question of latitudes, and vice related to the equator. Cruelty was a creature of the thermometer; the tropics tortured what the arctics - nursed. Happiness was born of contrast when lt wasn't born of temperament, and Third avenue laughed oftener than Fifth, One man committed suicide, another gave a feast Each was worth $20,000. The suicide had been a millionaire, the feast giver a pauper. I considered merchants and gamblers. There was but one difference���when the merchant's resources ended his credit ended; when the gambler's resources ended his credit began. When the gambler was down his ^fellow gamblers helped him; when the merchant was down his fellow merchants fell upon him and tore him like wolves. Progress? A wise man proved it by pointing to a railroad and asking ma to remember stagecoaches. I asked why it was better to travel 900 miles ln a day than to travel ninety. He said one could reach Chicago ln a day and night I replied that one couldn't reach Calcutta ln a day and night He said that medicine and surgery had advanced; that we now saved lives we used to lose. I asked why It was Important to save lives that must one day die; also I pointed out that we saved weaklings to wed weaklings and produce weaklings, which was progressing backward. He grew angry and asked If I favored deatb. I grew angry and asked If he favored birth; also I wanted to hear whether or no he believed in killing weeds. Progress! I know nothing of medicine and railways and stagecoaches and saving lives, bnt I, do know about books. And I see by my bookcases that the nineteenth century did not write so well nor In things beautiful think so well as did the eighteenth, with the promise all about me that the present century will write worse and think more heavily .than either. We have better guns, clocks, plows, sewing machines, but they wrote better English and thought nobler thoughts.���Al- Henry VIII. was a frequent widower, conceited, cunning, cruel and corpulent.

When she is in u freakish mood nature seems to revel In making human beings who defy all her most cherished traditions and are a constant mystery to their fellow creatures. Such a man is Herr Schwarz, \"the armor plated man,\" who ls such a puzzle to the doctors of Europe. Herr Schwarz has been for some years undergoing an ossification of tbe whole of his body aud is rapidly developing Into the hardness and immobility of a statue. His back has now become quite rigid, the muscles standing out hard and Immovable. In fact, he seems to be enveloped ln a kind of < armor plating, consisting of surface bone as bard as stone. He Is no longer able to move his jaws and ls compelled to take food In a' liquid form throughvfl tube, some of bis teeth having been,removed for the purpose. And yet, singular to say, this osseous man enjoys excellent health and not long ago was married to a charming young Berlin woman. In curious contrast to this indurated man is Herr Stabl, whose bones are so brittle that he can scarcely move without fracturing one of tbem. By simply stepping on a pavement he has broken a leg more than once. A hearty handshake has broken his arm, and a slap on the back not long ago laid blm up for weeks with a fractured shoulder. Herr Stahl has only numbered twenty-four years, yet he counts two fractures for every year he has lived ���In fact, as he humorously says, the only safe place for blm ls a glass case. Captain Vetrio, an American, Is a freak of another order, for he can make a hearty meal off poisons which would provide work for quite a large number of undertakers. If others were to partake of It. Not long ago ln Berlin he sat down to a dinner which consisted of a plate of verdigris, a liberal portion of ultramarine and a compote of sulphur and borax, followed by a dessert of white sulphur. These edibles were washed down by a solution of strychnine -and a bottle of patent rat killer made of powdered glass, arsenic and atropine. Tbis meal he devoured with evident enjoyment, to the amazement of the government officials and doctors who looked on and who to a man declined the captain's invitation to join him In his repast- Cleveland Plain Dealei. The New Drag Stovalne. According to a Birmingham newspaper, quoted by Consul F. W. Mahln, a new drug, called stovalne, has come into use in England and abroad to prevent pain in surgical operations. It does not produce unconsciousness. A patient who has nerves strong enough can watch a surgeon operate while under its Influence. Stovalne is Injected Into the lumbar region of tlie spinal canal and acts on the roots of the nerves entering the spinal cord. The Injection produces a certain amount of shock, as well as occasional sickness and headache. How long the effect of this anaesthetic will last Is not stated, nor whether further Injections may be made during an operation. Prcsuma- bly the duration of the effect is not great, and only one injection Is deemed prudent, for a recent instance is noted of a surgeon speeding an operation to the safety limit in order to outstrip the recovering nerves. , Frog Leather.

Lord Peel's son-in-law, Rochfort Maguire, who has succeeded the late Alfred Beit as president of the British South African Co. and as the head of the greatest diamond mine syndicate in the world, is an Irishman, who may be said to owe his amazing success in life to a bath, writes the Marquise de* Fontenoy. It was in the-days when the late Cecil Rhodes sent him on\" a special mission to King Lobengula for the purpose of securing certain valuable concessions from the all powerful ruler of the Matabeles. It was,a perilous mission, as quite a number of white men had met with death at the hands of Lobengula and of hie chiefs. However, Rochfort Maguire arrived at Lobengula'B kraal, was received fairly well, and then proceeded to cleanse himself of the dust and grime of his voyage by means of a bath in his traveling bathtub. This created a tremendous amount of excitement on the part of the natives,' and a considerable part of the Mata- bele nation assembled to witness the proceedings. Maguire is'not a man who loves publicity, but he is a bit of a philosopher, and nothing could be cooler or more deliberate than the way in whioh he stripped, folded His clothes, and then slipped into the water. The Ma- tabele nation looked on, commenting freely, but as he could not understand a word that did not matter to .him. Presently he produced a toothbrush and a \"box of tooth powder and started brushing his teeth. There they dr*��w the' line. The man who. puts strange things into his mouth, who foams at his lips, and turns wat-' er to milk must necessarily be a \"mtagati\" or ma-jician. 'Yells of astonishment rent the air. A party \"went off to tell the king, taking the Irishman's paraphernalia, and, what is more, hi3 clothes, Maguire following, wiapped in philosophic calm and nothing else, beyond his hat, which had been left to him. The king proceeded to sit like an inquest upon the brushes and bottles. It was explained to his majesty tbat the white man actually liked the \"stink\" of the bottles, and as for the turning of water, into milk, the king's mother-in-law, happened to die on the self-same day, and his majesty was rnfilial enough to ascribe this divine blessing to the white man's magic. His belief ir. the latter was further confirmed by a number of conjuring and sleight of hand' tricks which Maguire had picked up at Oxford and afterwards in the Orient, and the king took him into such favor that he not only granted him all he asked but many other unexpected concessions, which proved of immense value to Cecil Rhodes and really founded Masuire's fortune. Rochfort Maguire hails from County Limerick, being the son of a Protestant parson, and as a boy was so delicate that he had to resign a naval cadetship, after having graduated from the Britannia. Afterwards he went to Oxford^ where he made the acquaintance of Rhodes, 'who, it may be remembered, returned himself to that universiy for the purpose of completing his education, after having made a name for himself in South Africa.
